Ajwa Date
Dry Fruits
Ajwa dates are of the highest quality date fruits that Medina is famous for. They have existed ever since the time of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and Medina still produces ajwa dates until the present day.
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, mentioned ajwa dates in his hadith reported on the authority of ‘Amer ibn Sa’d who said: “I heard my father (Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him) say, “I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, say, “Whoever eats seven ajwa dates in the morning will not be harmed by any poison or witchcraft that day”.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari, The Book of Medicine)
